Appears to be the order f the day Bmks ere thought to be mines of wealth: und the fortunate proprietors, by the niil of a legislative Scrip, immediately become possessed of the power of transmuting can-vat rags into gold! This mania lino ris-n to such en astonishing height in this Ilu-public, if to il ran at present be termed,) as to shako the foundation i Hard of the Union to its base, which 1 offer as an apology fur a few brief remarks: The first Hank, I believe, that was known in history, was the Honk of Venice, established in the middle of the twelfth century. Nut long alter, the llopu'olic of (tenon established another. Hamburgh, Amsterdam, and a few other cities, established similar institution?. It was not until KIII4 tlint the Dank of Kngland was established, und Scotland, the year following. .Mr. Law's Bank, in Fronce, established in 1717, met untvorsal encouragement; but when it fell, it distracted all Europe. But to turn to our own Institutions. The l i nk of North America was established in 17511, with a capital of $5)00,01)0; Massn-chusetts, 1784, $ 100,000; Now York, (private Uaiilt,) the same year, $9.")0,000 incorporated u few years alter; Maryland, in 1700, $:!83,000: the whole amount, 8V 535,000. From 1700 to ISO:), t,0 capital increased to $20,707 ,01)0. Willi nit following up the progression, it is enough to say, t lint there appears to be, at this time, 677 Wtnto Hanks, (without reckoning the Hunk of the United Status.) About 70 of the number, aro dormant Banks, failed, &c; and of those who call themselves good, there is a discount from i to 50 per cent. uuly one of the latter, but several at 10 per cent. In alio ot the Unnks, mere is now a nominal capital of Sl-7,0 J0,00J; leaving 1)71 Bank", in which the capital is not known. This calculation includes Ohio. Add to this, S:n,000,000 United Stat s Hank; making the known capital $102,-020 002. Deducting tho broken Bunks from the 371 whose capital is not known, will leave 202 whose capital is not included in the above statement. If credit is duo to the newspaner, there cannot be loss than 15 ur IS millions, that are now beforo the dilferunt Suto Legislatures, to increase tho establishments, besides proposals in Now York for 50 millions in new Hanks, to add to their 27,5") 1,-COO now in operation. Adding also the 271 Hanks whoso capital is not known, averaging them at $100,000, will increase tho capital 27,100,000; which, added to the 102,120,602, makes the total ol $1VJ,2.'G,-002. Add to this sum tho probable grants the present winter, it cannot fall thort of 200,000,000 in tho whole. All Hanks, that I have known, are allowed by charler.to issuo, in bills and cre dits, double their charter capital, which would make 400,000,000. The interest of that sum, discounting one quarter, say 100,000,000, leaves 300,000,000 to draw interest; which, at 10 per cent., will make 30,000,000 7 per cent., will inalto 21,000,. 000. It becomes necessary to ascertain the amount of precious metals on which this mighty bank structure is based. It appears, liy late investigations, that Hito is in tli United States' Dank about 10,000,000, ami ' in all the Sin to Hunks, ubout an equal sum; making, in the whole, a fraction over 2H,-000,000 so that tho annual interest on the real capital, is greater than all the t-p"cio in tho vaults. Seven per cent, interest on 20,000,000, would be only 1,400,000; whereas, by the legerdemain of banking, the community pay 20,000,000, direct lux! This case, truo and strange as it is, is easily accounted fur) but as I ho Hanks multiply, the higher the mania rages. Thin it was in the Mississippi scheme, by John Law, beforo mentioned. But a short time before his bubble burst, he was so sanguine in his schetno, that he really entered into treat' fur the purchaie of the kingdom of Sardinia, In all commercial nations, money is re- quired in proportion to their trado. Where tho balance is in favor of a nation, the bullion is constantly flowing into it; but when tho balance is against il, money must gradually creep out, notwithstanding the severity of law against it. Tho United States' Dank lias been a deficient ill her ways and means ot supporting loreign commerce, ever since tho French Revolution. Our imports With this exception, tho sales hovo gone on, increasing regularly every yn-r. The Commissioner eslinini.o i'nnt the aggregate sales of the last your (13'i:i) will bo not less than three millions of acres, and the amount paid into the Treasury, will not he less than three millions of dollars. The accounts of the last quarter, aro, of course, only conjectural. By several acts of Congress, land has been appropriated In satisly the land claims of Virginia, for military bounty land warrants, of tho State Lino and Navy, and of, the Continental Lino, and for Revolutionary services, to the amount of 810,000 acres. Warrants to bo satisfied, have been filed 'or about ten thousand acres mora than the appropriation. Scrip has been issued or prepared, for 772,424 ncres; leaving 37,570 of the, appropriation to bo issued. For the deficient amount, including out standing warrants, further provision by Congress is necessary. Wo find tho difficulties in somo of the Western Land Ollices, which have been frequently alluded to in the papers, explained as referring to the receipt of military laud scrip, in payment lor public lands, in particular ollices. The whole amount received during tho year was $1,063,502, of which $751,827 were taken at the ollijes at 't ine-ville, Ohio, and Indianapolis, I ml. Commissioner I lay war J says: "it is alto-geihcr irreconcilable, with tho ordinary courso of such business, and the usual current of public sales, that so large a portion should havo been received at thesis two i-ollicos, without tho connivance or direct agency of the land officers, and their clerks, or one or moro of them, at each olfice, by which scrip has been taken in cases, where otherwise cash would have been received. Other ollices liavo also received and transmitted an unexpected amount." An investigation has been ordered, and in the courso of the session the Department expects to show the causes and the agencies of this result. An appropriation is asked for defraying the cost of making preparations tir secure the papers of tho ollico against lire. The amount is $2000, and $2)00 more aro asked for tho purpose of procuring for tho use of too law o!nce, tliu statutes unit la.v decisions ol the highest tribunals in the several Stales, a frequent reference to which is required for correct decisions on land questions arising under the law of descent, the jurisdiction of probate in Iters, tho settle ment and distribution ot intestate estates, the law of judgments and executions and tho lien created thereby, with tho law of assurances, or conveyances in relation to real estate. Access ('tie Commissioner odds) to these sources uf information, is often indispensable to tho security of individual rights, and important to the pecuniary interests of the Government. A largo part of the whole report is occupied in explaining the magnitude and cau-cs of tho arrearages in the business of the Land Olfice, and tho urgency of largo ap propriations in aid ol the regular lurce employed, in order to bring up even the current business. Seven thousand dollars, appropriated last year fur extra clerk hire, nave not been sutueient even to maintain tho regular duties of the office, and the arrearages ore consequently greater now, than they were on the 1st of last January. Although, during tho year, more than ftrtij thousand patents liavo been examined, prepared and transmitted, at the close of the year, there remained moro than e- j eentij thousand in nrrear, while the clerks employed, aro iiisumVicnt to transact the daily, business. Besides this duty, they have an onerous ml extensive correspondence to carry on and record, and the increasing requirements of individuals for copies of titlo papers, records, correspondence, and other documents, to bo used in the administration of justice, the settlement of intestate estates, to supply the loss or destruction ot originals, and lor other purposes. The cost of these copies alone, at tho customary charge, has exceeded three thousand dollars, in the past year. The amount of arrearages in respect to patents alone, he estimates will require eighteen diligent clerk", for ono year, to bring up to the 1st ol January, 1833. Fifteen cleiks would bo employed one year, in making indexes to the reconki of patents, a work of pressing necessity. The following is tho Commissioner's proposition: "To bring up these arrears, 1 would respectfully recommend that tho Secretary of tho Treasury, bo authorized to cuuso the same to be done, and the expense thereof paid nut ol any moneys in tho 1 reasury, aro about ono hundred millions, while our exports, including foreign growth, aro some ... ,inr,u nor.rr.iiriiiif.il. to such an ion ur iwiuvo millions snort, wiiiciinccuuilis lnntri, j., m,rmf.t t,a necessities of enm i.a l.-l-.,..,. nr ...i,.... ....:... .. . . J " . . . for the balance of exchange against u while Great Britain, by aid of her factories, in 1932,(1 think,) exported 15,000,000 sterling moro than she imported. This accounts for the excessive plenty of precious metals at this time in bur dominions, and alike for the small amount in these Stales. As this is not a subject involving any political question, it is addressed to the deliberate consideration of those interested in tho legitimate prosperity of the nation. Doubtloss these calculations may have occupied the mind of many thinking persons; yet, as I have never seen a siinilnr itntement, I have ventured these few re-murks. It is, however, a subject too broad for a paragraph in a newspaper; a volume would be necessary to portray the whole character of the institutions, and their effects on the public prosperity and morals. A.MGIUCUS. 70,000.K0. From the Raltimort American, The Report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office has appeared in tho Washington Doners. It refers to tables and slalements which are not published with it. Wo suppose they are to be found among the documents accompanying the President's Message, but they are not among that portion of them which, in thu distribution, has fallen to our sharo. The sales of public lands of the first three quarters of tho year 1833, exceeded those of the corresponding quarters of tho year 1832, by the amount of 582,830 acres; tho increase of the purchase inuncy was $555,-080; and the increase of amount paid into the Treasury. IKIU,8:W. The sales' of tho wholo year 1832, were less than those ol 1831, by the amount ol 315.514 acres, for which decrease, are as signed as reasons, tho prevalence of the cholera in many of those districts to which - emigration tends, and the existence of the frontier wsr with the Indians. the (inverniiient and ju-tico to individuals may require. And to enable the office to discharge its current duties. I propose the employment therein, of one chief clerk, at a salary of $1700 per annum; ono clerk at $I,oOO; live al$l,4iiu; ten at ifji,t;iii; and thirteen at $1,000; making, in all, thirty clerks; and also ono draughtsman at $1,-500, ono assistant draughtsman at $1,150; ono messenger at $700, and two assistant messengers nt $.)o0. I' or the reasons of this additional aid, and the incroasa of pay to a portion of the same, 1 refer you to my report made to tho Secretary ot tho I rea snry, on tho 2lst of January last, and which has been printed as number 50 of tho Senate documents of last session. If, however, it should not bo deemed expedient by Congress to adopt this proposition, an appropriation of $6,000 per year, for the writing end recording of patents for lands sold, and a like appropriation for six extra clerks in tho otfico, would greatly facilitate its business, and very much lessen the embarrassments under which it now labors." siously these engineers and men of science havo been mistaken, and how much the public have been misled on these points: First Three years' experience no. the Paisley Canal, has proved that passengers can be conveyed along Canals, in light boats, and roomy and comfortabla cabins, at tho rato of ten miles an hour, without damage to the (-'anal banks, at faros of ono penny per milo in the best cabin, and three farthings per mile in the steerage. Lot these fares be compared with the expanse of carrying pass uigers on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Tho fares in the best Railway coaches aro nearly three times as much as those in llie best cabin of the Cnnal boats; and tho very lowest fare on the Railway, at a much reduced speed, is three haltpence par mile, in an open and uncovered wagon, exposed to win! and rain, and tho steam and smoke of the engine. This is just double the fare in a covered cabin by the Canal boats, going at the rate of ten miles an hour. It must not bo imagined that such an excess in the expense of Railway traveling goes into the pockets of the Railway proprietors, for such is not the fact. By the latest report of the Manchester an! Liverpool Company, the carriage of each passenger costs the Railway Company themselves 2s. KJid. for a distance of thirty miles. This alone amounts to upwards of one penny per mile beforo the Railway Company get any return for the use of the Railway. Tne bare outlay on the Railway is, indeed, nearly fifty per cent, higher than tho total faro on the Canal. A short calculation will muko this evident: Tho average outlay, in conveying each passonger by tho Ruilwuy, is the above sum of 2i. lOid. far 30 miles, which is, per mile, Id. 3 23ths. The proportion of best cabin and second cabin passengers, on the Paisley Canal, aro ono- fifth of best cabin passengers, at Id. per mile, on I four-fifths of second cabin passengers, at three farthings per mile. The o verogo to'ul faro on the Canal is, therefore, 10-20ths of a penny per mile, 0J. l(i-20ths. B'ing sjvon twen'icths of a p;nny per milo, or very nearly 30 per cout. less than the biro outlay on the Railway. The Canal Companies can thuj afl'jrd to corrv. and actually do carry, passengers at the sn-cd often miles an hour, at rates that would be not only unprofitable, but actually ruinous to Railway Companies. Bit', moreover, the expense to the Rail-way Company of carrying passengers has, according to the Reports of tho Directors, been regu'urly increasing; whereas the expense to the Canal Company has boon regularly decreasing. Tho natural consequence of these facts has been the progressive falling away of pasicngors on me Liverpool Hallway, and tho progressive increase of passengers by tho Pauley Canal, as will appear from the lollowing table, showing the average number of daily passengers on the Railway and on the Canal: Railway.

Tho iucreuse of passengers, by similar swni uums lately established on the I'reston, Lancaster, and Kendal, and Forth, and Clyde, and Union Canals, has been equally rapid, or rather more so; and on tho Paisley Canal, during the months of July and Au gust, tho daily averago was upwards of i.uip i passengers. This result is not attributable merely to an increase in tho number of boats, but in I a great measuro to the fact of the bouts he-ing belter filled in consequeuco of the in-I creased comfort, speed, and economy of Ca nal conveyance, as will appear Irom the following table of the average numbers of passengers on each trip on the PaisleyCanal: liming 1IU0, 4 trip daily, 2i passougeis each trip. mil, n iio u do ,i IliiJ, 14 ile, II I do au During the first ti mnnllia ol 1 I.U, 111 do 45 do do These linht and swilt iron passage boats have not yet been established on thu dili'er-ent Canals, and river navigations, between Liverpool and Manchester. When this takes place, the progressive decrease of passengers by that Railway will assuredly go on tuoru rapidly than ever, and the question b 'tween Railway and Canal con veyance will be settled beyond all doubt or dispute.

Appears to be the order f the day Bmks ere thought to be mines of wealth: und the fortunate proprietors, by the niil of a legislative Scrip, immediately become possessed of the power of transmuting can-vat rags into gold! This mania lino ris-n to such en astonishing height in this Ilu-public, if to il ran at present be termed,) as to shako the foundation i Hard of the Union to its base, which 1 offer as an apology fur a few brief remarks: The first Hank, I believe, that was known in history, was the Honk of Venice, established in the middle of the twelfth century. Nut long alter, the llopu'olic of (tenon established another. Hamburgh, Amsterdam, and a few other cities, established similar institution?. It was not until KIII4 tlint the Dank of Kngland was established, und Scotland, the year following. .Mr. Law's Bank, in Fronce, established in 1717, met untvorsal encouragement; but when it fell, it distracted all Europe. But to turn to our own Institutions. The l i nk of North America was established in 17511, with a capital of $5)00,01)0; Massn-chusetts, 1784, $ 100,000; Now York, (private Uaiilt,) the same year, $9.")0,000 incorporated u few years alter; Maryland, in 1700, $:!83,000: the whole amount, 8V 535,000. From 1700 to ISO:), t,0 capital increased to $20,707 ,01)0. Willi nit following up the progression, it is enough to say, t lint there appears to be, at this time, 677 Wtnto Hanks, (without reckoning the Hunk of the United Status.) About 70 of the number, aro dormant Banks, failed, &c; and of those who call themselves good, there is a discount from i to 50 per cent. uuly one of the latter, but several at 10 per cent. In alio ot the Unnks, mere is now a nominal capital of Sl-7,0 J0,00J; leaving 1)71 Bank", in which the capital is not known. This calculation includes Ohio. Add to this, S:n,000,000 United Stat s Hank; making the known capital $102,-020 002. Deducting tho broken Bunks from the 371 whose capital is not known, will leave 202 whose capital is not included in the above statement. If credit is duo to the newspaner, there cannot be loss than 15 ur IS millions, that are now beforo the dilferunt Suto Legislatures, to increase tho establishments, besides proposals in Now York for 50 millions in new Hanks, to add to their 27,5") 1,-COO now in operation. Adding also the 271 Hanks whoso capital is not known, averaging them at $100,000, will increase tho capital 27,100,000; which, added to the 102,120,602, makes the total ol $1VJ,2.'G,-002. Add to this sum tho probable grants the present winter, it cannot fall thort of 200,000,000 in tho whole. All Hanks, that I have known, are allowed by charler.to issuo, in bills and cre dits, double their charter capital, which would make 400,000,000. The interest of that sum, discounting one quarter, say 100,000,000, leaves 300,000,000 to draw interest; which, at 10 per cent., will make 30,000,000 7 per cent., will inalto 21,000,. 000. It becomes necessary to ascertain the amount of precious metals on which this mighty bank structure is based. It appears, liy late investigations, that Hito is in tli United States' Dank about 10,000,000, ami ' in all the Sin to Hunks, ubout an equal sum; making, in the whole, a fraction over 2H,-000,000 so that tho annual interest on the real capital, is greater than all the t-p"cio in tho vaults. Seven per cent, interest on 20,000,000, would be only 1,400,000; whereas, by the legerdemain of banking, the community pay 20,000,000, direct lux! This case, truo and strange as it is, is easily accounted fur) but as I ho Hanks multiply, the higher the mania rages. Thin it was in the Mississippi scheme, by John Law, beforo mentioned. But a short time before his bubble burst, he was so sanguine in his schetno, that he really entered into treat' fur the purchaie of the kingdom of Sardinia, In all commercial nations, money is re- quired in proportion to their trado. Where tho balance is in favor of a nation, the bullion is constantly flowing into it; but when tho balance is against il, money must gradually creep out, notwithstanding the severity of law against it. Tho United States' Dank lias been a deficient ill her ways and means ot supporting loreign commerce, ever since tho French Revolution. Our imports With this exception, tho sales hovo gone on, increasing regularly every yn-r. The Commissioner eslinini.o i'nnt the aggregate sales of the last your (13'i:i) will bo not less than three millions of acres, and the amount paid into the Treasury, will not he less than three millions of dollars. The accounts of the last quarter, aro, of course, only conjectural. By several acts of Congress, land has been appropriated In satisly the land claims of Virginia, for military bounty land warrants, of tho State Lino and Navy, and of, the Continental Lino, and for Revolutionary services, to the amount of 810,000 acres. Warrants to bo satisfied, have been filed 'or about ten thousand acres mora than the appropriation. Scrip has been issued or prepared, for 772,424 ncres; leaving 37,570 of the, appropriation to bo issued. For the deficient amount, including out standing warrants, further provision by Congress is necessary. Wo find tho difficulties in somo of the Western Land Ollices, which have been frequently alluded to in the papers, explained as referring to the receipt of military laud scrip, in payment lor public lands, in particular ollices. The whole amount received during tho year was $1,063,502, of which $751,827 were taken at the ollijes at 't ine-ville, Ohio, and Indianapolis, I ml. Commissioner I lay war J says: "it is alto-geihcr irreconcilable, with tho ordinary courso of such business, and the usual current of public sales, that so large a portion should havo been received at thesis two i-ollicos, without tho connivance or direct agency of the land officers, and their clerks, or one or moro of them, at each olfice, by which scrip has been taken in cases, where otherwise cash would have been received. Other ollices liavo also received and transmitted an unexpected amount." An investigation has been ordered, and in the courso of the session the Department expects to show the causes and the agencies of this result. An appropriation is asked for defraying the cost of making preparations tir secure the papers of tho ollico against lire. The amount is $2000, and $2)00 more aro asked for tho purpose of procuring for tho use of too law o!nce, tliu statutes unit la.v decisions ol the highest tribunals in the several Stales, a frequent reference to which is required for correct decisions on land questions arising under the law of descent, the jurisdiction of probate in Iters, tho settle ment and distribution ot intestate estates, the law of judgments and executions and tho lien created thereby, with tho law of assurances, or conveyances in relation to real estate. Access ('tie Commissioner odds) to these sources uf information, is often indispensable to tho security of individual rights, and important to the pecuniary interests of the Government. A largo part of the whole report is occupied in explaining the magnitude and cau-cs of tho arrearages in the business of the Land Olfice, and tho urgency of largo ap propriations in aid ol the regular lurce employed, in order to bring up even the current business. Seven thousand dollars, appropriated last year fur extra clerk hire, nave not been sutueient even to maintain tho regular duties of the office, and the arrearages ore consequently greater now, than they were on the 1st of last January. Although, during tho year, more than ftrtij thousand patents liavo been examined, prepared and transmitted, at the close of the year, there remained moro than e- j eentij thousand in nrrear, while the clerks employed, aro iiisumVicnt to transact the daily, business. Besides this duty, they have an onerous ml extensive correspondence to carry on and record, and the increasing requirements of individuals for copies of titlo papers, records, correspondence, and other documents, to bo used in the administration of justice, the settlement of intestate estates, to supply the loss or destruction ot originals, and lor other purposes. The cost of these copies alone, at tho customary charge, has exceeded three thousand dollars, in the past year. The amount of arrearages in respect to patents alone, he estimates will require eighteen diligent clerk", for ono year, to bring up to the 1st ol January, 1833. Fifteen cleiks would bo employed one year, in making indexes to the reconki of patents, a work of pressing necessity. The following is tho Commissioner's proposition: "To bring up these arrears, 1 would respectfully recommend that tho Secretary of tho Treasury, bo authorized to cuuso the same to be done, and the expense thereof paid nut ol any moneys in tho 1 reasury, aro about ono hundred millions, while our exports, including foreign growth, aro some ... ,inr,u nor.rr.iiriiiif.il. to such an ion ur iwiuvo millions snort, wiiiciinccuuilis lnntri, j., m,rmf.t t,a necessities of enm i.a l.-l-.,..,. nr ...i,.... ....:... .. . . J " . . . for the balance of exchange against u while Great Britain, by aid of her factories, in 1932,(1 think,) exported 15,000,000 sterling moro than she imported. This accounts for the excessive plenty of precious metals at this time in bur dominions, and alike for the small amount in these Stales. As this is not a subject involving any political question, it is addressed to the deliberate consideration of those interested in tho legitimate prosperity of the nation. Doubtloss these calculations may have occupied the mind of many thinking persons; yet, as I have never seen a siinilnr itntement, I have ventured these few re-murks. It is, however, a subject too broad for a paragraph in a newspaper; a volume would be necessary to portray the whole character of the institutions, and their effects on the public prosperity and morals. A.MGIUCUS. 70,000.K0. From the Raltimort American, The Report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office has appeared in tho Washington Doners. It refers to tables and slalements which are not published with it. Wo suppose they are to be found among the documents accompanying the President's Message, but they are not among that portion of them which, in thu distribution, has fallen to our sharo. The sales of public lands of the first three quarters of tho year 1833, exceeded those of the corresponding quarters of tho year 1832, by the amount of 582,830 acres; tho increase of the purchase inuncy was $555,-080; and the increase of amount paid into the Treasury. IKIU,8:W. The sales' of tho wholo year 1832, were less than those ol 1831, by the amount ol 315.514 acres, for which decrease, are as signed as reasons, tho prevalence of the cholera in many of those districts to which - emigration tends, and the existence of the frontier wsr with the Indians. the (inverniiient and ju-tico to individuals may require. And to enable the office to discharge its current duties. I propose the employment therein, of one chief clerk, at a salary of $1700 per annum; ono clerk at $I,oOO; live al$l,4iiu; ten at ifji,t;iii; and thirteen at $1,000; making, in all, thirty clerks; and also ono draughtsman at $1,-500, ono assistant draughtsman at $1,150; ono messenger at $700, and two assistant messengers nt $.)o0. I' or the reasons of this additional aid, and the incroasa of pay to a portion of the same, 1 refer you to my report made to tho Secretary ot tho I rea snry, on tho 2lst of January last, and which has been printed as number 50 of tho Senate documents of last session. If, however, it should not bo deemed expedient by Congress to adopt this proposition, an appropriation of $6,000 per year, for the writing end recording of patents for lands sold, and a like appropriation for six extra clerks in tho otfico, would greatly facilitate its business, and very much lessen the embarrassments under which it now labors." siously these engineers and men of science havo been mistaken, and how much the public have been misled on these points: First Three years' experience no. the Paisley Canal, has proved that passengers can be conveyed along Canals, in light boats, and roomy and comfortabla cabins, at tho rato of ten miles an hour, without damage to the (-'anal banks, at faros of ono penny per milo in the best cabin, and three farthings per mile in the steerage. Lot these fares be compared with the expanse of carrying pass uigers on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Tho fares in the best Railway coaches aro nearly three times as much as those in llie best cabin of the Cnnal boats; and tho very lowest fare on the Railway, at a much reduced speed, is three haltpence par mile, in an open and uncovered wagon, exposed to win! and rain, and tho steam and smoke of the engine. This is just double the fare in a covered cabin by the Canal boats, going at the rate of ten miles an hour. It must not bo imagined that such an excess in the expense of Railway traveling goes into the pockets of the Railway proprietors, for such is not the fact. By the latest report of the Manchester an! Liverpool Company, the carriage of each passenger costs the Railway Company themselves 2s. KJid. for a distance of thirty miles. This alone amounts to upwards of one penny per mile beforo the Railway Company get any return for the use of the Railway. Tne bare outlay on the Railway is, indeed, nearly fifty per cent, higher than tho total faro on the Canal. A short calculation will muko this evident: Tho average outlay, in conveying each passonger by tho Ruilwuy, is the above sum of 2i. lOid. far 30 miles, which is, per mile, Id. 3 23ths. The proportion of best cabin and second cabin passengers, on the Paisley Canal, aro ono- fifth of best cabin passengers, at Id. per mile, on I four-fifths of second cabin passengers, at three farthings per mile. The o verogo to'ul faro on the Canal is, therefore, 10-20ths of a penny per mile, 0J. l(i-20ths.

The Canal Companies can thuj afl'jrd to corrv. and actually do carry, passengers at the sn-cd often miles an hour, at rates that would be not only unprofitable, but actually ruinous to Railway Companies. Bit', moreover, the expense to the Rail-way Company of carrying passengers has, according to the Reports of tho Directors, been regu'urly increasing; whereas the expense to the Canal Company has boon regularly decreasing. Tho natural consequence of these facts has been the progressive falling away of pasicngors on me Liverpool Hallway, and tho progressive increase of passengers by tho Pauley Canal, as will appear from the lollowing table, showing the average number of daily passengers on the Railway and on the Canal: Railway.

Tho iucreuse of passengers, by similar swni uums lately established on the I'reston, Lancaster, and Kendal, and Forth, and Clyde, and Union Canals, has been equally rapid, or rather more so; and on tho Paisley Canal, during the months of July and Au gust, tho daily averago was upwards of i.uip i passengers. This result is not attributable merely to an increase in tho number of boats, but in I a great measuro to the fact of the bouts he-ing belter filled in consequeuco of the in-I creased comfort, speed, and economy of Ca nal conveyance, as will appear Irom the following table of the average numbers of passengers on each trip on the PaisleyCanal: liming 1IU0, 4 trip daily, 2i passougeis each trip. mil, n iio u do ,i IliiJ, 14 ile, II I do au During the first ti mnnllia ol 1 I.U, 111 do 45 do do These linht and swilt iron passage boats have not yet been established on thu dili'er-ent Canals, and river navigations, between Liverpool and Manchester.
